Rated at up to 530 MB\/s read and 400 MB\/s write, it is close to the SATA interface's own ceiling of around 550 MB\/s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat framing matters: this is the drive that makes an old desktop or notebook feel new, or that adds bulk storage next to an existing NVMe drive. It is not a step up from a drive you already run on NVMe. At 512GB it is a sound entry-build size, ideally with a second drive if you keep a lot of games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5\" SATA III:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 530 MB\/s read and 400 MB\/s write, backwards compatible with SATA II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits where the old hard drive did:\u003c\/strong\u003e the standard 2.5\" bay size found in most desktops and laptops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-shock and anti-fall construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e no moving parts and a hardened build, which is what you want in a machine that travels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to surveillance server standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e tested to meet video surveillance server requirements, so sustained write workloads are within its design remit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D NAND flash:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D NAND with an advanced SSD controller for higher density and stable performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80TB write endurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated at up to 80 TBW with an MTBF of 1.5 million hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e512GB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA III (backwards compatible with SATA II)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 530 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 400 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRandom 4K read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 45K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRandom 4K write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 75K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEndurance (TBW)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 80TB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMTBF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D NAND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 6.9 x 0.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Hiksemi Wave(S) 2.5\" 512GB SATA III SSD (green)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by a 3 year warranty.
